Life Safety/Fire Safety

The University of Toledo Fire and Life Safety Program operates out of the Facilities
and Construction department. Within this department there
are three full-time life safety technicians. The life safety technicians ensure that
all fire code violations are corrected in a timely manner. They
maintain all suppression systems throughout the University campus. These include:
fire pumps, fire extinguishers, chemical suppression hoods, halon or
inergen systems and sprinkler systems. They also oversee the work of any outside contractors
that modify or repair University fire systems. In
addition, the life safety technicians maintain all the University's fire detection
systems to code. These include: fire alarms, smoke detectors, pull
stations, horns and strobes and also adjust the time settings campus wide for all
of the University's automatic electric clocks (from daylight savings
to eastern standard and back) and make any repairs to the clocks as necessary. For
more information about Fire and Life Safety at the University
call 419-530-3607.

Virtually all fires are small at first and might easily be contained if the correct
type of extinguisher is readily available
and properly used. Use the information provided in the Fire Extinguisher Selection
guide to insure that the type of
extinguisher you choose is appropriate for the area and materials you are trying to
protect.

What you should and
should not do when trying to escape from a fire. Familiarize yourself with the proper
Fire Escape Procedures and in the event
of a fire you will be prepared to respond quickly and correctly.
